"California" and "American History" Mosaic Panels

I worked with teacher Cindy Wechsung and the 4th and 5th Grade Students at Alvarado Elementary School in Signal Hill, California to create two series of six 2 x 2 ft panels depicting events and icons of California and American History. The panel topics are from students' brainstorming sessions. Luz Mack-Durini, my friend and fellow artist helped in the preparation and grouting of this great project. Intern Zoe also assisted.
